Found animals

If you have found a cat or dog, please take it to a Local Vet or our Animal Management Centre at 213 Queens Road, Kingston.

It is important to take found animals to either your local Vet or the Animal Management Centre as:

• the owner may be looking for it
• a scan for a microchip can be done to identify its owner
• the animal may be wearing a registration tag and the Animal Management Centre can contact its owner.

After-hours holding pens

If you find a cat or dog outside of our business hours, you can use our after-hours holding pens as a safe place to put the cat or dog.

The after-hours holding pens are located at the Animal Management Centre at 213 Queens Road, Kingston.

We check the pens every morning and afternoon on the weekend and every morning on weekdays.

We check all animals put in the pens for registration tags and microchips. We also add the animal’s photo to our Iost and found animal register webpage.

The after-hours holding pens are NOT suitable for sick or injured animals or wildlife. If you find sick or injured animals or wildlife, please see Sick or injured wildlife for more information.
